[Verse]
                                                A         
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E                                             A                 
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
    B                    C#m7                  A                 
And my mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine
E                                               A      
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
    E                                                    Emaj7 A  
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B                       C#m7                  A                
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
B                             C#m7                    A       
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why


[Chorus]
E                               A          
Dear John I see it all now that you're gone
                      C#m7                       
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
B                           A                 
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
  E              
I should've known


[Inst]
     A E                                   A       
Well ■ maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame


[Verse]
   E                                                        A      
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
B                         C#m7                       A                   
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
         B                        C#m7                    
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said
B      A              
Run as fast as you can


[Chorus]
E                          A               
Dear John I see it all now that you're gone
                      C#m7                       
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
B                           A         E       
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home


[Bridge]
                              A        
Dear John I see it all now it was wrong
                           C#m      
Don't you think nineteen's too young
             C#m7         B             A                  
To be played by your dark twisted games when I loved you so
  E              
I should've known


[Solo]

[Bridge]
A C#m7                       B                       
■ You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
A                                     
Never impressed by me acing your tests
C#m7                              B                       
All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes
       A                  
'cause you burned them out


[Verse]
B                       C#m7                      
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
A                
So don't look now
B                A                       E         
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town


[Chorus]
A  C#m7 B  A
Oh ■    oh ■
E                               A          
Dear John I see it all now that you're gone
                      C#m7                       
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
    B    Bsus4              A         E         
The girl in the dress cried the whole ■ way home
             A                   
I see it all now that you're gone
                      C#m7                       
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
    C#m  B            A               
The girl in the dress wrote you a song


[Outro]
    E              
You should've known
    A              
You should've known
E                       A        
■ Don't you think I was too young
              E    
You should've known
